Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Open up your web browser to the Internet, go to the Kaboodle website by typing www.kaboodle.com.

  2. Step 2

    Register on the Kaboodle website and remember and record your user name and password for future site access. Check your email software for updates. It is necessary to register so they can remember your wish list and preferences.

  3. Step 3
